My Creative Learning Reflections Journal Zine

I made a physical zine, the biggest I’ve ever made for my Creative Learning Course (NCAD). It’s my reflection journal, I still don’t know if I made one correctly, but there was an option to submit a physical copy… so I did! My last hurrah as an art student. And here’s the digital version, enjoy!:

If you have problems viewing the zine, you can go directly to https://heyzine.com/flip-book/a5c963ac08.html.

As part of the short course, I created a couple of things on the side and included in the reflective journal:

I used Decker (which some folks have used for interactive digital zines) to create a little interactive story based on the object, a Nintendo Famicom cartidge, which embodied my creative journey. Note: That Decker is not mobile-friendly, view via laptop/desktop computer.

A mini-zine I created based on the reaction from one of the activities where we address and distill large issues to single words. Chanting them out loud during class, a very cathartic exercise which stuck with me leading me to design and make this mini-zine.

✂️ Cut & folded nearly 50 various zines tonight. I’ll be bringing nearly 90 zines of all shapes & sizes on topics including gamedev, tech, #Python & community groups to @ShipItCon & @DublinMaker next week.

🔍 Other zine clubs/fests/fairs?

Is there a site that lists all the various zine clubs, fest and fairs around Ireland and Northern Ireland?

I keep coming across them via socmed, it would be great to find a hub of zine info. I keep missing all the info about their upcoming events!

Here are ones I found so far:
